Article Summary:

Subsurface Media’s Brian Dombrowski has posted his 360° field of view video of a dive site in Dry Tortugas. It was shot using a custom designed housing linking 4 GoPro HD2, linked with custom electronics. The files are then joined by 5 different software processes, including one that is written by Brian himself.

The housing can go pass 400ft deep. It does synchronized start and stop of the cameras. It took over 6 hours to process the 2.30 minute video! It certainly looks better than the BBC one that was done last year for the Oceans series. Watch this special video on his website for a fully interactive video experience.
